Can a person engage in masturbation eight days after surgery?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I have masturbation eight days after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after an induced abortion, you should wait until your body has fully recovered before resuming sexual activity. This period is approximately 30 days. If sexual intercourse is performed too soon after the surgery, bacteria can easily enter the vagina, increasing the risk of infection. This can lead to conditions such as endometritis or salpingitis, and in severe cases, it may even cause infertility.
Hello, the optimal time for an induced abortion is generally between 6 and 10 weeks of pregnancy. It is usually possible to choose medication abortion within 49 days of gestation. However, medication abortion has significant side effects and can easily result in incomplete abortion, requiring a uterine procedure (dilation and curettage). This can cause considerable damage to the uterus. It is recommended that you choose a painless induced abortion for greater safety. Wishing you good health!
